    Flight landed early this morning. Bumpy ride. But I got here safe and sound. I hate flying.

    You know what I hate more though? Dead ends. Run arounds.

    I went to the "auction house," following all of Hymn of None's directions. And... you guessed it. No auction. Nothing. Just a gutted warehouse. Completely abandoned. Broken windows. Graffitied walls. Scratched, cement floors covered in dirt.

    At first I was pissed (how could I not be?). Then cautious. Once I calmed down I decided to scope the place out. Eventually I found it...

    A Crowley Collection flyer. Same one we've all seen. Only this one had some writing on the back. It was a poem, or, I don't know, two pieces of a poem.

    It's definitely a message. Maybe a clue. Pointing me somewhere. Some new destination. I can't be sure. That's why I need your help. I'm posting the poem because I can't do any research right now. I'm going to keep moving around. Never safe to stay in one place.

    Anyway, here's what the first part said:

    For those who would endeavor
    to acquire that which was His:
    Respects must be paid, to those
    who embody what He believed.


    And here's the second:

    The daughter who lived for 6 years, then died.
    The bride who died, then lived for 6 years.
    Yet neither has left us.
    Kneel at their feet and find answers.


    Can any of you help me figure out what or who these things are about?

    UPDATE:

    Based on some of your research, I hopped the L (and then a cab) and went over to Graceland Cemetery. I was looking for the headstone of that Inez Clarke girl -- the daughter who lived for six years.

    Sure enough, on the back of it was another Crowley Collection flyer. This one was different too... in a another way. No poem. Just a set of numbers. Five numbers:

    31268

    While you guys try to make sense of that, I'm gonna check out two other cemeteries -- Mount Carmel (for that Italian Bride) and Rosehill (for the Pearce dude).

    I'll let you know if I find anything else...

    UPDATE 2

    Got nothing at Rosehill. Mount Carmel was another story. Thanks to you guys, I found another Crowley Collection flyer -- taped to the back of that Italian Bride's headstone. It had five more digits on it.

    It was definitely a phone number. I dialed and got an answering machine for Willow Woods. The answering machine gave me their address and I'm heading there now...

    Will post again if I find anything.

    (Thanks to Jazz and EsotericTheory for the area code hookup).
